A few ideas for PLaneT:
i) Send a monthly mail to this list with all packages
added in the last 3 months
ii) Keep download statistics
iii) Add the source of the packages to the svn repository
ad i)
This gives people a chance to be reminded of new packages.
(BTW - How many subscribe to the planet-announce list compared
to this one?)
ad ii)
Users can easily find interesting stuff.
Authors like feedback - is the package actually used by anyone.
ad iii)
Actually I just want to browse the source of PLaneT packages,
and be able to post links to source files and examples
embedded inside packages. Adding them to the svn is just one
way to make them browsable.
